The Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company’s (KYMTC) Main Show is usually performed in the spring (unless it is a holiday show). It offers youth from Grade 7 to age 19 the chance to audition for, and participate in, a musical theatre production staged at the Urbandale Arts Centre within the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Matilda is KYMTC’s 26th musical theatre production.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents, but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. However, Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing– the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and loves coming up with new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But thanks to Matilda’s courage and cleverness she just may be the school’s saving grace!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
